Contingency plans for a disruptive Brexit next year have been widely written about in the press but some measures are top secret. However, a highly placed government source leaked this.
The Elizabeth Line has been requisitioned to store essential supplies under London. It is anticipated that there will be widespread civil disorder, particularly in central London. The safety of the Royal Family is of great concern and an emergency plan to ensure their safety is in place. A secret tunnel has been bored from the garden of Buckingham Palace into the underground station at Hyde Park Corner. A Piccadilly line carriage has been converted to whisk the Royals to Heathrow and then onwards by military jet to a Commonwealth country. The train has armour plating and no windows. This emergency evacuation may take place as soon as 1st April 2019. I was able to snatch this picture during a secret rehearsal.
It is ironic that Brexit may succeed where the Luftwaffe failed. Today’s post is confidential, Mumm’s the word.
April fool! But it is not really good enough, as this joke implies, to blame everything on “Project Fear”. Not sure about immediate impact of Brexit as “Project Fear” was based on the promised immediate withdrawal after the referendum and we have now had more than enough time to prepare.
But the longer term cumulative loss of growth will mean that health, education, defence and welfare cannot be funded. Ordinary people will stand still or lose out financially. This is where the rational debate, discouraged by project fear, needs to take place. Or is it too late?
Too late, alas, too late.
